Crowbar Theatre Company's Mark Pugh was interviewed by BBC Radio Nottingham about Christmas Carol. By popular request, you can hear the audio here. Apologies for the poor quality; we have had to drop the sound quality to reduce the time it takes to load.

“A Dickens of a feat of memory”

In November 2003, tragedy struck the Duchess Theatre in Long Eaton when an electrical fault burnt down most of the theatre. Since then, the formidable challenge has been to raise enough money to rebuild the theatre for use by local amateur groups. Mark Pugh, a local actor based in Nottingham, and a team from Bottesford, Long Eaton and Melton Mowbray have joined forces to bring Dickens’ A Christmas Carol to the Chatsworth Centre, adjacent to the site of what will be the new Duchess Theatre.

“It doesn’t get much bigger than this”

A Christmas Carol is a one-man piece of theatre faithfully adapted from the original Dickens novella. Star of the show, Mark Pugh, will be bringing to life all twenty-five characters in two very special performances on Friday December 5th and Saturday December 6th 2008. He said: “As acting challenges go, it doesn’t get much bigger than this. I have 160,000 words of dialogue to memorise, and twenty-five different voices and characters to perform. However, I have a fantastic team around me who are making this feat of memory, and acting, a little easier. We’re hoping to help the Phoenix Fund - the Long Eaton Charity set up to raise money to rebuild the theatre.” Tickets are £5.00 or £4.00 concessions and are available from the Chatsworth Centre, West Gate, Long Eaton, NG10 1EF, or by ringing the Christmas Carol ticket hotline on 0788 209 7974.
